I just added one of these last week. One of my favorite add-ons so far. Was able to install it with DualLiner Bed Liner only needing to drill holes through side panels. No cutting of liner required.
cool, thanks for the image. Ive been wanting to do this as well, but concerned about light obstruction. How much of the light is blocked when it's darker and the cover is on? Does it block the light switch?
Not much light is blocked at all. Plenty of light put out both above and below the box. The amount of light blocked would not prevent me from having these boxes mounted on each side if I needed them. I believe there would still be a functional amount of light available.
This looks pretty cool. What do you use for attaching the bracket to the inside of the box? The video shows self tapping screws but do we have to worry about galvanic corrosion with the aluminum panels?

So you don't have to drill any new holes. You use the ones that are already in the bed. You also use the tie down hooks for the other bracket. As for the light, there is plenty of light still, but when the box is in the locked position I can't reach the light switch. So I will have to either swing the box out or use the switch inside the truck. I have a lineX spray in and all the holes were still there and the brackets fit perfect.

Might be a good reason to install on passenger side.
Love mine. Only issue was the Ford liner blocked the mounting holes for the hinge bracket so I had to cut the liner. Also the openings for the latch had to be enlarged a tiny bit. It took a little longer but im very happy with them
